De Grisogono Torpedo

The de Grisogono brand is an ultra-premium cigar made strictly for the European market by high-end cigar master, Felipe Gregorio. Our panel feels he deserves more attention from the wider consumer audience than he has received—which is why this is the third of his stogies we've featured recently. Felipe Gregoriomakes some solid blends that continually get better—Felipe Power, Pelo de Oro, and the Petrus Reposado. His cigars are highly popular in Europe despite outrageous retail prices of $12 or more each where his blends rival Davidoff and the best Cuba has to offer.
To create this handmade, Felipe chose some of the Dominican Republic's finest Cuban-seed tobaccos, cultivated in the famed Cibao Valley. After an extensive aging process, his choice, hand-selected tobaccos are wrapped in a true, top-grade Connecticut Shade wrapper. The result is a mild-bodied, but sophisticated bouquet of creamy, cedary flavors culminating in a crisp, elegant finish. Here’s your chance to experience a rare treat from Felipe Gregorio, one that Europeans have been enjoying for years. Consider complementing it with a red Bordeaux or Burgundy.
